Alice Cooper wrote The Man With The Golden Gun for the film but the studio chose Lulu instead

Depending on how he tells the story, he was chosen do it or decided to do it ahead of time, so when they went looking for a song he could say “Already done!”

i can see this subject being a little TOO wide ranging in it's answers .....

only found this out last year and was pretty much playing it on repeat on my mp3 player!

I don't really play LoL and so I am really, really taken out of the music by the videos that try to play up how epic the players are. Which I like the music sooo to the background!

Assuming not OST, cause there are lot of good ones.

I mean, theme from Midnight Express as it took on a life outside of the movie.

But on topic:

[SmashTV]

I only found out recently that one of my favourite songs on GTA V - ‘Don’t Come Close’ by Yeasayer - was written specifically for one of the in game radio stations.

[DASH 243✅]

L7 wrote the song gas chamber in character as the band camel lips for the movie serial mom.

[I'm Team Bayley and Indi]

[Mighty Attack Tribble]

The last one was literally written (well, rewritten as it's heavily adapted from one of their earlier songs) on the back of a napkin on the plane ride to film the band's performance in the movie.
